A Snake's Tail

Name: A Snake's Tail
Director: Bijan Daneshmand

Duration: 74 mins

Synopsis

The film set in London is about the relationship between Kami, a 40 year old businessman whose father has just passed away, and Agha, the Mullah or Priest who conducts the burial ceremony. The story shows how Agha, an opium addict with a penchant for Persian Sufi poetry, takes Kami, who is distraught by the death of his father, under his wings. During their weekly meetings Agha not only exposes Kami to the beautiful poetry of Rumi and Hafiz but to the euphoric pleasures of opium, the preferred drug of Iranians since time immemorial.
